1. 1. Permanent Fire Load of the Building Envelope

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Gizelle Danine Pondevida Jamero; [2023]
   Keywords : Permanent fire load; temporary fire load; fire load; building envelope; insulation; building content; upholstered furniture; heat of combustion; MCC; bomb calorimeter; cone calorimeter; room corner test.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Fire load, the total thermal energy released by the combustion of a material, is an essential part of determining a building’s fire performance and the associated fire protection strategies. Elements in a structure are typically categorized into two types of fire loads: permanent and temporary. READ MORE

3. 2. Electric alternative of hydraulic operation : Empowering safety through electrification

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Edvin Turesson; [2023]
   Keywords : Hydraulic; electrification;

   Abstract : Electrification is a relevant subject in the industrial market and provides many benefits. The motivation for this project is to reduce the fire hazard by removing the hydraulic fluids from the steel mill environment. This project aims to analyze the existing hydraulic sealing unit and evaluate the electrification alternatives. READ MORE

4. 3. Integrating Fire Evacuation into the Building Information Modelling Workflow

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Nazim Yakhou; [2022]
   Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; Building Information Modelling; Fire Evacuation; Performance Based Design; Golden Thread of Information; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Building Information Modelling (BIM) is arising gradually as a useful methodology in the AEC field. One of the many benefits of BIM is coordination between stakeholders from multiple disciplines. However, the field of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is relatively lagging by its lack of integration into this digital workflow. READ MORE

5. 4. Life cycle analysis and comparison of climate impact for two alternative floor systems for increased weight in high-rise timber buildings

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

   Author : Nir Kedem; [2022]
   Keywords : Life cycle assessment; LCA; Anavitor; Environmental impact; Building materials; Timber; Concrete; Gravel; Adding weight system.;

   Abstract : The aim of this Master Thesis is to investigate and quantify the climate impact for two floor system alternatives for the Cederhusen project, that is the 8 floors timber-based buildings located at Sankt Eriksplan in Stockholm. The overall motivation for this study is the fact that the construction industry is a major contributor to the total amount of the global greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

6. 5. The Combined Influences of Canopy Openness, Browsing Protection, and Low Intensity Fire on the Natural Regeneration of Oak in Southern Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

   Author : Benjamin Miles; [2022]
   Keywords : burn; browsing; disturbance; fire; light; oak; Q.robur; Q.petraea; ungulates;

   Abstract : Whilst oak was historically prevalent in the landscape of temperate Europe, changes in the disturbance regime of forests have led to limited regeneration across its distribution. In this study, the fire oak hypothesis is tested to assess the tolerance of Quercus robur and Quercus petraea recruits (seedlings and saplings) to a low intensity burn, and how this response may differ depending on the presence of browsing and canopy openness.
